For how many years did you take and how much did you put.

If we leave to india after 2-3 years then can we withdraw in online and transfer that to india in online.

If we leave to india after 2-3 years then can we withdraw in online and transfer that to india in online.

Every few years, almost like a biorhythm, the fund VGSTX (like most other funds) tanks to the negative yield. If you are leaving in a couple of years, don't sink all your money into that. Wait till The Donald is the President, and see how things go for the first half of 2017. And then go for it.

How to plan investment in mutual funds?

vasu123;626248For how many years did you take and how much did you put.

If we leave to india after 2-3 years then can we withdraw in online and transfer that to india in online.


I think your concept is still not clear, why don't do some study on the net?

You better stick to FD\CD at this moment before you get some clear idea how the market works.

BTW how does an Indian citizen mange their US equity investments from India? Don't you at least need an US address for your brokerage accounts?

What about filing taxes? Do we still need to file it every year in the US even if I don't redeem my mutual funds?

If you plan to stay back in US Vanguard else India - HDFC/Franklin/ICICI are some of the good fund houses in India.
